A Proven Process, From First Call to Launch Day
Every Nexa Byte project follows the same structured process — not because we’re rigid, but because predictability is what lets us hit deadlines and budgets consistently. Here’s exactly what happens at each stage.

Estimated Timeline
Ongoing retainer
Timelines are illustrative and vary by project scope — you’ll get exact estimates during the Discovery phase.
From First Conversation to Launch
Inquiry
You reach out with your project idea or a rough set of requirements. No commitment needed for a first conversation.
Discovery Call
A free 30-minute call to understand your goals, constraints, and timeline, and confirm we're the right fit.
Proposal & Scope
We send a detailed proposal: scope, timeline, team composition, and pricing based on your chosen engagement model.
Contract & Kickoff
Once approved, we sign the agreement, assemble your dedicated team, and hold a kickoff call to align on goals and milestones.
Design Delivery
Wireframes and prototypes are delivered and reviewed with you before any production code is written.
Development Sprints
Two-week agile sprints with live demos, so you see working software throughout — not just at the end.
QA & Launch
Full testing cycle, staged deployment, and a coordinated go-live.
Post-Launch Support
Ongoing monitoring, bug fixes, and feature enhancements under your chosen support plan.
